The Problem With Most Diets
from the Underground Fat Loss Method manual
The problem with most diets is that they set your caloric intake levels too high, and then force you to do an hour (or more) of cardio per day in the hopes of
creating a reasonable caloric deficit.
So here’s how this usually plays out. Your average guy with an office job and who exercises or plays sports a few times a week needs roughly 2,500 calories per day to maintain his bodyweight.
He decides he wants to lose some weight so he talks to a registered dietician (ha! First mistake) and she tells him to simply eat less and move more. She recommends he aims for a 500 calorie-deficit from diet and that he adds some additional cardio sessions to his week. Then she charges him $85 for the 15 minute conversation and saunters away.
So now our poor chap is supposed to eat 2,000 calories per day, do a bit more cardio throughout the week and hopefully achieve his goals.
What happens? Well, he loses some water weight during the first week simply by making cleaner food choices. The next week he only loses a pound. During week 3 he doesn’t lose a single pound and his motivation falls through the floor.
He grits his teeth and sticks with it for another week, only to not lose a single pound in week 4.
He quits, rewards himself with a cheat day and moves on to the next diet plan. This cycle continues over and over for the next 12 months. A year of his life goes down the drain and he ends up exactly the same (or even more likely – fatter) than he was when he started out.
As I mentioned, you, me, heck humans in general – we’re all pretty awful at estimating how many calories we’re eating.
So if we set out to eat 2,000 calories, there’s a good chance we’re probably eating 2,300 or even 2,500 calories a day.
And we’re just as bad at estimating how many calories we’re burning from exercise. So if we set out to burn 500 calories, there’s a good chance we’re really only burning 100 or 175 calories.
When you combine those factors, a guy who attempts to eat 2,000 calories and burn 500 calories a day via exercise will actually be eating 2,300 calories and burning only 175 calories per day via exercise. Which means IF he loses any fat, he’s only going to lose a tiny amount of fat – not even enough to show the results in the mirror or on the scale. So he’ll lose motivation and quit.
